Blister Buttermilk Biscuits

alliteration aside, these biscuits are really easy, and a great taste of home (amanda and i like to pair them with bbq wandegeya chicken and coleslaw). the aftermath has been well documented, so use caution when removing these beauties from the oven.

3 cups flours

2 tbsp sugar

4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

.75 cup (1.5 sticks) chilled butter, cut into 1/4 inch pieces

1.5 cup buttermilk - if you don't have buttermilk, just mix 1.5 tbsp vinegar into the milk and let it stand for about 15 minutes. not quite the same but it does the trick.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in large bowl. Using fingertips, rub butter into dry ingredients until well mixed and no large butter chunks are left. Add buttermilk and stir. Use about .25 cup dough for each biscuit and drop them onto a baking sheet. Bake at around 200 C for about 15 minutes.
